We traveled to Jordan on April 2021, and we have many wonderful memories from the Dana valley hike. The terrain was great and the guide for the hike was EXCELLENT! |

I just returned from the Dubai/India trip with my cousin, Ronda Mader. From my perspective all aspects of the trip were excellent. The tour guides and drivers in all destinations were very courteous, accommodating and very informative. They were always on time, dependable and I felt very safe in their presence. I really appreciated the way our guides could circumvent some of the long line ups for tickets for some of the venues. They seemed to be well known by the locals and we would be ushered right through! The vehicles (SUVs) were also large, sturdy and very nice and clean. And our driver always made sure we had cold, bottled water. Whenever we ran out, another one magically appeared! The hotels were very nice. The one in Dubai (Canal Central) was beautiful! Only a couple years old and very well situated with wonderful views of all the beautiful buildings across the canal including the Barj Khalifa. In India, our hotels were a little older, but still very nice and the staff was always courteous and attentive to our needs. Our morning buffet breakfasts, which were included in our tour, were wonderful and filling! The evening meals and events that were included were also very good. Flights and connections were great! No delays or lost baggage. In all aspects this trip was well worth the money, in my opinion, and I would highly recommend travelling with your group, Travel Discounters, and your representatives in Dubai, and India, to anyone planning to visit those countries. Thanks again for your help in putting together such a wonderful and memorable trip! Sincerely. Show more |

This was my 3rd trip to Egypt and I was very impressed with both Travel Discounters and Blue Sky Tours. Bob met us at the airport and took care of all our transfers. Between the safe drivers, excellent guides, and knowledgeable Egyptologist, Karin Zhongshan Shemis, I felt very safe and well cared for during my entire stay. The Le Meridian Hotel was very accommodating as our first room had a cigarette smell and when we made them aware they gave us three other rooms to chose from. There was a large buffet which included cuisine representing many different nationalities with delicious food. The river boat was a little dated and worn. The crew was nice and also very accommodating. When I made the manager aware of my food allergies he made sure there was always something that I could eat. This trip is of great value. We did everything I've done on my previous trips for less than half the price. I am telling everyone if you've ever wanted to take a trip to Egypt do it now and use Travel Discounters! Show more |

We have just returned from our Egypt trip that was organized by Platinum Holidays.us. They did an amazing job! From the minute we got on Egypt Air, everything was smooth & like clockwork. The Blue Sky Travel representatives were there to meet us & walk us through every step of the way. Special thanks to Kareem, our guide in Cairo, and to Hussein, our guide down the Nile River, and Mr. Mimi, who took care of our needs on the River cruise. All of them, and the rest of the staff were outstanding. The Egyptian people were so friendly and helpful. They were truly happy to see we tourists. Our party of 6 had a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. We highly recommend this trip. We've traveled extensively and don't do 'tour arranged travel', but this was perfect to get the most out of all the wonderful things to see Show more |

Just recently I used Platinum Holidays for a trip to Africa. Everything worked perfectly including all the transfers, hotel bookings, flights. This is the first tour package we've been on that was essentially seamless. We will definitely be using this travel agent again. |

Amazing service. American Airlines cancelled my flight to Greece and Akhil called me right away to help get it sorted - even though it was 1 am! He also fixed everything on the Athens end so I had zero stress starting my vacation. Their name might say 'Discounters' but this was a first-class experience the whole way. I Recommend this trip 100%! |

We had an amazing time! Arriving to Nairobi, we were welcomed at the airport and taken to our hotel. The hotel was very nice and modern. We had a nice dinner and got as much rest as possible to get over the jet lag. The next morning we drove to Amboseli. Our driver was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable when it came to animals. We enjoyed the drives a lot. The lodge was very nice. We were lucky enough to see all the animals we could see at Amboseli: huge herd of elephants, lyons (lots of them), giraffes, hippos, etc.... Unfortunately the days were a bit cloudy, and we couldn't admire Kilimanjaro as we should have wanted. Otherwise it was great! Then we went to Tanzania, in Arusha we met the rest of our tour group (we were accompanied by a couple from Germany and a woman from the US). We then drove to the Serengeti. There, we were lucky enough to see leopards!!! two of them!!!! it was amazing. Kati Kati camp was great, you feel VERY close to nature there, haha... it was a great experience. Our driver was nice, but I felt the one in Kenya knew more about animals and nature in general. However I have to give him points for his driving skills, very safe and experienced. Subsequently we headed to Ngorongoro crater.... what a place! the most beautiful place I've seen on earth! and we got to see a rhino!!!! We saw all the big 5! We stayed in a beautiful farmhouse, had great food. After that we headed back to Arusha, our group split and we headed back to Nairobi. The extra night in Dubai was also a nice it was enough time to visit the city. Overall it was a trip that we will never forget. Thank you for organizing everything for us and accommodating our needs. You guys don't disappoint. So far the two trip we have done with you have been amazing!!!! (Egypt last year and Safari now). Thank you again. Show more |

I used this company to tour Egypt and Jordan. It was fantastic service and the tour companies they utilized in Egypt (Blue Sky) and in Jordan (Bridge Travel) were top notch. I will use them again for my next trip if they provide the service to that part of the world, which will be Peru to visit Machu Pichu. They took care of everything and allowed me to do the airline upgrades in all my flights. |

Just returned from the trip to Egypt via Travel Discounters. It was fantastic. Before departure Binod was very helpful, answering all our questions immediately and to our satisfaction. Upon arrival we were met by Abdul before we got to the passport control, and he took care of all formalities at the Airport and hotel. Everything went very smoothly, our cruise was better than expected. Food was various and tasty, local drinks drinkable, except whisky. Stay away. By the way, drink package includes not only beer and wine, but also local hard liquor. Our tour managers Abdul and Ashraf were great and very helpful, made our life very easy. Cairo tour guide Maged was great. But Egyptologist on the cruise Yasser was beyond all expectations. Published author and TV show host he was absolute highlight of the tour. My wife was scared to go to Egypt, but turns out everything was absolutely safe. And, sightseeing is absolutely mind-blowing. Everyone we met was fond of USA and American people, very friendly and nice. I strongly recommend Travel Discounters Egypt tours! Show more |

We just returned from a trip to Greece. They were super helpful from the beginning to end. Flights, hotels, ferries, excursions, and taxis were all booked for us. When we arrived to Athens, Renata met with us and gave us all the vouchers and maps we would need, answered all of our questions, and gave us suggestions. Unfortunately, the winds were stronger than usual so the ferries were cancelled, leaving us stuck in Mykonos longer than expected. Renata was always available to help and guide us, so it was a lot less stressful. I absolutely recommend them! Show more |
Right from the minute we stepped off the plane we were greeted by an exceptional BlueSky representative. Hotel and Cruise were excellent. Daily agendas were well planned. The staff on the cruise went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and our needs met.
We really enjoyed having our own little car with a driver and guide for the week. It was a wonderful glimpse of this part of India, our recollections of the elephants, the cows, the camels, the traffic and the forts and antiquities will remain near the top of our experiences.
We had a great time. Very scenic area. Weather was sunny & nice & wildlife sightings were great.....we even saw the white spirit bear. It was the lodge's first sighting of the year & Kathy was the first to spot it from the boat. The staff was very friendly, welcoming & accommodating.
